Proposal: Blue Sky Printing

Reaches quorum at 15-3. Might also have timed out. -Purplebeard

Adminned at 04 Mar 2010 02:06:04 UTC

To Rule 2.2 (Inventions), add:-

If the only effect of a Proposal is to add a single Part to the Ruleset, or to amend a single Part, and if its title includes the word “Blueprint”, it is known as a Blueprint Proposal. A Commoner’s oldest pending Blueprint Proposal is not counted as a Proposal for the clause of “unless the Commoner already has 2 Proposals pending” in Rule 1.3.

imperial Note that this wording has the same issue that Crises did.  If you have 2 non-Blueprint Pending Proposals, you still won’t be allowed to make a Blueprint Proposal, because no Rule allows you to do so.

against there are over ten proposals pending all the time…. Thats enough.

Also, as i stated somewhere else, I dont want to have that much inventions (or parts) at this early time…

I would vote for such a Proposal in ~ two weeks.

[Keba] This is intended to allow a background trickle of new Parts, without forcing players to give up slots they’d otherwise use for fixes or larger game mechanics. If you don’t think the dynasty needs many more Parts, though, fair enough.

Well, ive thought about this again.

At first, there is no need for “one part per proposal”, as most part-proposals pass. Is there any one-part-propsal, which failed or is going to fail?

Also, I would like to have other mechanics than scavenging and inventing all the time. Aix proposed yesterday an idea in IRC, which allows raiding instead of scavenging. Such methods would be much nicer, I think.

PS: I hope I am allowed to write in this comment information about IRC discussions?

for @Keba: Bringing up IRC stuff is fine. If it wasn’t we prob wouldn’t have the IRC to begin with

against-I’d hate to see 10+ blueprints from everyone proposing one thing.

At minimum, scrap the part of “adding one *part*” to the ruleset. We’re practically begging for that to be abused since “Part” isn’t defined IIRC.

Wait, I’m dumb. Part as in an invention part- not “part of the ruleset”. Vote stands though.

“Part” is clearly defined by the ruleset.
